The Black Flame: A Philosophy of Acausality

by Denys Spirin

  • First published:
  • 21st century
  • Language: English

The Black Flame: A Philosophy of Acausality develops an original philosophical apparatus for the Left-Hand Path. Starting from a formal distinction between causality (derivation) and acausality (postulate), the book argues that free will is real, that laws are produced by acausal acts and not given, and that the moment when the will grounds itself is the event the Western esoteric tradition calls the Black Flame. The work integrates analytic philosophy of action, continental existentialism, Kabbalistic cosmology, and Qliphothic practice into a unified framework, presenting the Demiurge's cosmos as a Farm designed to harvest the acausal will of conscious beings.
